There is still a megapixel race: the flagship of 2023 Samsung Galaxy S23 can get a 200 MP camera

In early September, Samsung introduced ISOCELL HP1 Is the world's first image sensor for smartphones with a resolution of 200 MP (16 384 × 12 288 dots). But so far the manufacturer is in no hurry to use it in their products.

When?

According to the authoritative insider Ice Universe, next year we will not see any Samsung smartphones with 200 megapixel camera. Instead, the manufacturer will continue to refine the 108MP. For example, the Galaxy S22 Ultra sensor still will 108 megapixelbut will offer better detail, more accurate colors and lower noise compared to the ISOCELL HM3 sensor used in the Galaxy S21 Ultra. It will be complemented by a 12MP ultra-wide lens and two 10MP telephoto lenses.

But the Galaxy S23 Ultra, which is expected in 2023, is rumored to receive the same 200MP sensor, which should provide higher details and 4K and 8K video recording with a wider viewing angle.

Samsung has optimized the 108MP sensor for three years, and the result is better year by year, which is better than replacing the sensor frequently. It is said that the S23 Ultra will adopt 200MP sensor from next year, and then it will be optimized for several years.
